Ocean Towable Bladders: Sea Slug
View a Printable Version of this Page

Canflex “Sea Slug” Ocean Towable Bladders are normally used for oil spill recovery and temporary storage on water. However, the bladders are strong enough and can also be used for liquid storage on land.

Special material coatings are available for these bladders, which can be used in many environments, such as the storage and transport of Drinking water, Fuels or Waste products.

Canflex “Sea Slug” bladders are very rugged units with a cylindrical main body and matching conical ends giving them great towing characteristics.

Canflex superior engineering and design combined with the high strength coated fabrics used to manufacture its bladders allow the bladders to be used safely for training and practical applications over an unlimited time period.

Canflex's coated fabric materials are many times stronger than materials used by other towable bladder manufacturers. This material strength is critical for constructing a safe ocean towable bladder that can be filled, towed and off loaded repeatedly.

All products are Manufactured in accordance with ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management Standard. Canflex (USA) Inc holds certificate No FM 517957

Sizes range from 5 to 650 m³ (1320 to 170,000 gallons).
